Building Penetration

W-CDMA deals with low signal strength a lot better than GSM as far as calls go..

The Nokia 5230 wasn't terribly impressive for me, I had it next to my CLIQ and it was going to EDGE at the drop of a hat when the CLIQ was still on 3G.

To be honest, I also read in some reviews that while Nokia phones traditionally have strong reception, the 5230 wasn't up to Nokia's usual standards.

This is giving me some hope that I will be more satisfied with my service when the Moto Charm is released.

Funny there was a post on the windmobile site of a bloke that would get full bars and would step into a porta potty and get 0 bars. Must be a high grade PVC !

Sounds like the bloke was talking shite lol

Anyway rumour has it, Wind is looking to add micro cells to improve indoor reception and reception in malls

I noticed i get more reception indoors now, i'm guessing they added more towers in my area.
Before i would get less than 1 bar in my basement, now i get full!

prolly the same rumor mill that says they have 100,000 customers.. I simply do not see that happening for a while. The money tree has Egyptian elm disease..
